Back in May I wrote about my Shell scarf pattern which I had added to the shop.
I mentioned that I had bought this beautiful yarn at Spring Into Wool and I was planning to make another one.
I actually finished it a few weeks ago but it has been waiting to be blocked.
The yarn is West Yorkshire Spinners Wensleydale Gems and I absolutely love the colours it’s available in.
I was desperate to see what it would look like knitted into this scarf but I was a little concerned that it might be a hard or prickly yarn so different to the gorgeous soft Sublime Alpaca that the original is done in.
Not so, however. The yarn is so soft and fluffy – not as soft as the Alpaca – and it drapes beautifully.
I blocked it at the weekend and the sun was out so I grabbed some quick photos.
It’s so great to see my design in a different yarn and colours.
As you can see I also bought another yarn from Home Farm Wensleydales which is destined to become a Shell Scarf too!!
